Greatest TV series

[ichy]

The Wire. Nothing else even comes close.

Other favorites would be Homicide, BSG (first two seasons) & Rome. None of them approach the utter brilliance of The Wire though.

I thought The Sopranos was decent but overrated. Oz was fun, but after a while it got repetitive (someone gets murdered, someone gets ass-raped, rinse, repeat.)

Edit: Mad Men has a lot of potential so far, but I've only seen about six episodes so I can't really judge.

[/CENTER]ent;30990722]Boy, I have not watched a single episode of like 95% of the ones you listed OP.

Quantum Leap is awesome though.

St tng? It's the only one that I would say has too be on that list.

 

[Mike Gayner]

The Sopranos, The Wire, The West Wing.

These three are the undisputed champions of TV series.

 

[Homerboy]

I forgot The Wire on my list.
Thank you all for reminding me.

TNG is fine I guess, but I've only watched maybe six or seven episodes.

My Deadwood Blu-ray boxed set just showed up, so I'll finally get to see that one.

Two and a half men. So wrong its funny.

Dramas...I am less picky. I like a little but from each.

If we're counting miniseries then BoB was awesome, as was Generation Kill. From the Earth to the Moon had some excellent episodes, but some of them blew.

 

[Mike Gayner]

The Soprano's

The Soprano's what?

 

[brandonb]

ST TNG
ST DS9
Babylon5
Little House on the Prarie

I've watched every episode of those. So I must like!

 

[FDF12389]

The Wire
The shield
The southpark

 

[crownjules]

This thread fails because Arrested Development wasn't mentioned yet.

 

[sactoking]

The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.

 

[Mike Gayner]

Aah yes, forgot about The Shield. Not quite up to the same calibre as my golden three (see above), but still an incredible show.

 

[Homerboy]

How could I forget it.

MacGuyver
Airwolf
Knight Rider

 

[allthatisman]

A-Team
Green Hornet
MacGuyver
Airwolf
Knight Rider

All shows with gratuitous use of "car flipping", lol. I myself fancy, in no particular order:

The Simpsons (Seasons 1-11 only)
BSG (New Series)
Firefly
ST: TNG
ST: Voyager
The Office (More reality, than reality TV)
Quantum Leap
How I Met Your Mother

I am sure there are more, but this is all I can remember at the moment...

Lost. (F you, haters.)

And Sarah Connor Chronicles.
